About World Mobile

World Mobile is democratizing global connectivity through its blockchain-based decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN). Unlike traditional telecom providers, World Mobile operates on a sharing economy model, enabling individuals and businesses to run network nodes, connect their communities, and earn rewards. Over the last 12 months, World Mobile has achieved over 100,000 daily active users, launching cellular and internet services across Africa, Asia and the USA. The network is powered by the Word Mobile Token ($WMTX). WMTx can be staked, is the only DePIN token to be used as gas on its own chain, and incentivizes node operators and builders to develop a thriving blockchain ecosystem.

Recent Developments: Launch on Base

World Mobile recently expanded by launching on Base. This strategic move links World Mobile’s communications-centric Layer 3 blockchain, the World Mobile Chain (WMC), with Base’s Ethereum-based Layer 2 blockchain, leveraging Base as its settlement layer. A key outcome of this integration is the addition of the Coinbase Smart Wallet within the World Mobile app, enabling a smooth onboarding process for new on-chain users.

With the Base launch, World Mobile is advancing its mission to build one of the world’s largest Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN). This aligns with their recent expansion of triple-play services — providing cellular, broadband, and value-added services across EVM blockchains.

Apex AirNode: Key Information

The Apex AirNode is the backbone of World Mobile’s next-generation wireless network. Each Apex AirNode offers high-bandwidth wireless coverage up to 30 km line of sight and can support connectivity for up to 250 Link AirNodes (or 500 with the Apex 180 model). This would mean Toshi could support reliable and cost-effective connectivity for a vast number of users, aligning with both our community’s values and our mission for high-impact, sustainable projects.

• Investment Cost: $15,999 plus 1.75% for insurance.
• Expected Returns: Estimated payback period of 1–3 years. Last month, Apex 90 AirNodes earned an average of $547, equating to a 41% APY.

Your Decision

This vote will determine whether we allocate Toshi’s project funds toward acquiring an Apex AirNode as part of the World Mobile network. This investment could enhance Toshi’s portfolio, with potential long-term returns and alignment with our commitment to supporting pioneering technologies.

Voting Options

• Yes: Use project funds to purchase a World Mobile Apex AirNode.
• No: Do not use project funds for this purpose.

Voting Period
The Meow DAO vote will be live for 8 days. We encourage all community members to participate and help shape Toshi’s future.

As part of our continuous efforts to grow and evolve, we are excited to introduce NFToshis 2.0 — a brand new collection that marks a significant milestone in our journey. This release is not just a refresh; it’s a complete reimagining of what NFToshis stands for, incorporating the latest in art and design to align with our recent rebranding.

Why NFToshis 2.0?

With our recent rebranding, we recognized the need to update the NFToshis collection to reflect our new identity and vision. The original NFToshis have been a staple in our community, but as we’ve grown, so has our need to innovate. NFToshis 2.0 represents the next step in that evolution, offering fresh artwork and a renewed sense of purpose within the Toshi ecosystem.

What’s New in NFToshis 2.0?

NFToshis 2.0 isn’t just a new collection; it’s a complete overhaul designed to offer a more engaging and visually appealing experience. The collection will consist of 5,000 unique NFTs, each carefully crafted to embody the spirit of Toshi’s rebranding. Whether you’re an OG holder or new to the Toshi community, NFToshis 2.0 offers something special for everyone.

Key Benefits for OG NFToshis Holders:

• 1:1 Airdrop: To show our appreciation for your early support, each OG NFToshis holder will receive a random 1:1 airdrop from the NFToshis 2.0 collection. This means you’ll automatically get a piece of the new collection, at no extra cost.
• Exclusive Minting Opportunity: OG holders will also have the option to mint one additional NFToshis 2.0 at half the price. This exclusive offer allows you to expand your collection with minimal investment.

Minting Details

The NFToshis 2.0 collection will be released in phases to ensure a smooth and fair distribution process:

• Phase 1: Reserved for current NFToshis holders. As a valued community member, you’ll have the first opportunity to mint from the new collection before it opens up to others.
• Phase 2: Opens up to those who hold more than $10 worth of Toshi in their wallets. This phase ensures that active community members who may not hold OG NFToshis can still participate in this exciting release.
• Phase 3: Finally, the mint will open to the general public, allowing everyone to join in and own a piece of NFToshis 2.0.
• Mint Price: Each NFT in the NFToshis 2.0 collection will be priced at $50 USD. This pricing reflects the quality and effort put into creating this new collection, while still being accessible to our community.
• Mint Date & Platform: The NFToshis 2.0 mint will take place on Magic Eden on October 9th. Make sure to mark your calendars and prepare for this exciting event!

Community Involvement Through DAO

In keeping with our commitment to community-driven decision-making, the funds raised from the NFToshis 2.0 collection will be subject to a DAO vote. The community will decide what percentage of the funds will go to the project funds and what percentage will be used for treasury balancing of $TOSHI. This means that you, the community, will have a direct impact on how these funds are allocated, ensuring that the resources are used in a way that best supports the future of Toshi.

Why This Matters

The launch of NFToshis 2.0 is more than just a new collection; it’s a testament to our growth and the strength of our community. By updating the artwork and expanding the collection, we’re laying the foundation for the future of Toshi. This release is designed to strengthen our community bonds and ensure that everyone has a chance to be part of this exciting new chapter.

Final Thoughts

We can’t wait to see how the community responds to NFToshis 2.0. Whether you’re an OG holder or new to the Toshi world, this collection offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of our evolving story. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the launch, and be sure to participate in the upcoming DAO vote to have your voice heard!

Dear Toshi family,
As part of the decentralized decision making in important things for Toshi, we are coming to you with a new Meow DAO Vote. Some votes may be more divisive than this one, but any decision regarding our contract will always come to you for a decision.
Today we are launching the next Meow DAO vote: Should we renounce the contract or not?

The Journey So Far

When the current contract was deployed, 3% buy/sell taxes were included to help build a treasury and ensure Toshi’s growth. At that time, the community decisively agreed that these taxes were necessary to support Toshi’s growth, as resources were scarce and all coming out of pocket by those who led the biggest ever community takeover. Since then, things have improved. Toshi has seen incredible, organic growth, and we’ve built a strong foundation together. In a Meow DAO vote months ago, the community decided to remove taxes. When Toshi migrated to the current contract, it was made clear that the taxes were meant to be temporary. The time for taxes are forever gone, and now it is on the community to take the next step in decentralizing Toshi further.

The Meow DAO Vote

This vote is about whether the Toshi contract should be renounced, which would permanently remove the possibility of reintroducing taxes or activating any other functions the contract has.
The other option is to keep the contract as is, if you believe that reintroducing taxes in the future is a potential necessity.

Option 1: Renounce the Contract
If the contract is renounced, it means Toshi is committing to never reintroduce taxes. This would make our contract a “vanilla contract,” one with zero risk factors from the developer side. We would lock in the current setup, ensuring stability and predictability for everyone involved. The project would continue to grow with the resources already accumulated, focusing on what Toshi has now to continue to grow the brand.
IMPORTANT: We believe that most of the unwarranted “warnings” on automated contract checkers will disappear with the renouncing of the contract.

Option 2: Do Not Renounce the Contract
If you choose not to renounce the contract, it gives Toshi the flexibility to reintroduce taxes if needed for future growth. As there has already been a Meow DAO vote for the removal of taxes, we don’t expect that Toshi would ever really benefit from the reintroduction of taxes.

What Happens Next?

As the voting ends, we will either renounce the contract immediately in its current state, which makes it a vanilla contract with no functions and zero tax, or we leave everything as is, without touching any of the functions on the contract without the approval of a Meow DAO vote.

Timeline and What to Expect

The Meow DAO vote will go live today, and you’ll have 7 days to cast your vote. We want to make sure everyone has a say in this decision that pertains to the Toshi Contract.

Snapshot Vote Link: https://snapshot.org/#/toshibase.eth/proposal/0xbe5086836d41f385f8093f11bac95dc533f593e26a094e4022a8c4ed8d7bdf39

No matter which option is chosen, Toshi is prepared and excited for the future. Your support has been incredible, and we’re looking forward to discussing this decision with all of you.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Your meow’s matter. Let’s make this decision together.

With meows and gratitude,

The Toshi Team

Toshi is thrilled to announce the final results of the second Meow DAO proposal. In a decisive victory, nearly 90% of the votes (71B Toshi Tokens) supported the removal of our 3% tax.

Vote Details: [Snapshot Proposal]

We are now preparing for the tax removal and the migration of our existing V2 liquidity pool to V3 liquidity pools. For more details on V3 liquidity, please refer to the link at the end of this article.

Please note: The TOSHI contract will remain unchanged, and no action is required on your part regarding your tokens.

A Significant Milestone for the Meow DAO

The success of the Meow DAO has empowered Toshi holders to directly influence critical decisions affecting Toshi’s future.

Meow DAO Details: [Announcing Meow DAO]

We’re immensely proud of the turnout for this vote, with over 350 Toshi holders casting their votes onchain, demonstrating the DAO framework’s effectiveness in a decentralized project. This vote underscores the community’s vested interest in the project’s success and their ability to shape its direction.

The LP Migration Process

To ensure a transparent and efficient migration, we will follow these steps:

1. Inform and educate the community about the migration process.

2. Begin the liquidity unlocking process for our current pool, starting a 7-day countdown.

3. Continue to work with DEXs, our market maker, and V3 specialists to align our liquidity strategy with Toshi’s goals with V3 liquidity.

4. Seamlessly transition liquidity from V2 to V3 pools, ensuring uninterrupted trading.

During the 7-day unlocking period, we will continue to engage with various BASE chain DEXs to find the most advantageous setup for Toshi and its community. This might include utilizing multiple V3 pools and optimizing LP distribution across DEXs to maximize benefits for all time frames.

Additionally, we’re tapping into the expertise of the Toshi Market Maker to fine-tune our LP ranges. These targeted ranges aim to reinforce liquidity at crucial price levels, creating a dynamic trading environment.

For more on Concentrated Liquidity: [Uniswap Protocol — Concentrated Liquidity]

When we discussed introducing a tax for Toshi to help build the treasury, we received general consensus from the community. This happened during our relatively early stages when volume was very low. Since then, Toshi has seen incredible and completely organic growth. At the time of migration to our new contract, we were always clear that taxes would be temporary.

Even though we’d love to err on the side of caution and keep the taxes for continued growth and sustainability of the brand, we also recognize that the community may feel differently about that at this stage, and your voice counts.

Today we propose the next DAO vote, allowing you to determine whether Toshi removes the tax, or whether we keep taxes until the treasury hits 1000 ETH (we’re currently sitting at 500 ETH). If we remove the tax, we will migrate the liquidity from our current V2 pool to a V3 pool.

As our first DAO vote is still running, and we want to finalize the vote and the donation first, this vote will go live on or around the 11th of March and will last for 8 days.

What are the options in the vote?

Option 1: We keep the tax until the treasury has 1000 ETH, at which point we remove the tax. This allows us to consistently build a treasury that will sustain the project and promote accelerated growth for multiple years. It also gives the foundation the ability to hire a relatively large team and allows Toshi to expand with greater freedom while taking on higher financial risks.

Option 2: We remove the tax and migrate to a V3 liquidity pool. We will continue to build the project with a team similar in size to what we have right now. We’ll focus on building the brand with the resources generated by our existing treasury, trading fees, and market maker. This approach will require slightly more cautious spending and likely a smaller team within the foundation.

What happens when either option is chosen?

If option 1 (keeping the tax) wins: We’ll make an announcement to the community when we have around 950 ETH in the treasury. This announcement will include details about migrating the liquidity to a V3 pool, allowing us to better manage it. It will also cover the process of triggering the liquidity to facilitate the move to the V3 pool. (For more specific details on how that will happen, please see the explanation under option 2).

If option 2 (removing the tax) wins: We’ll take about a week to speak to some of our most core community members and various DEXs on Base to determine the best place to host the V3 liquidity (which could potentially be multiple V3 pools). Once we’ve decided — in agreement with the community — where we’re moving the liquidity, we’ll trigger the liquidity and ensure a smooth transfer to the V3 pool(s) roughly a week later. We’ll also lock the liquidity with Toshi tools.

We expect that we can migrate the liquidity to V3 just after the start of April. This timeline includes 2 weeks of voting, a few days of exploration to determine where to migrate our LP, and another week for triggering the liquidity. We want to give the community plenty of notice about what we’ll be doing with the liquidity to avoid causing confusion or concern when the liquidity trigger is observed.

Toshi is ready for both outcomes, no matter which option is chosen. The project has grown incredibly — we are at 16,000 holders today, and 9000 community members on Telegram. Thank you all for your unwavering support! We’re looking forward to discussing this with you all.

A quick mention:

• Today we started testing 4 different tools with our internal community team.
• A fifth tool will go into testing next week.
• The last tool will go into testing as soon as it’s ready.

The rollout will go as follows:

• Once the tools are tested internally, we’ll put them out for public beta again.
• We will start with three tools, then add the other tools as they’re ready for public beta.
• All tools will remain in an official beta state until our dApp has been audited.

Toshi: A Community-Driven Endeavor

From the beginning, Toshi has been propelled by an active and engaged community. A dedicated group of community members has taken the initiative to steer the project, ensuring that every significant decision is made with thorough community consultation and consensus.

The DAO Foundation: A Pillar for Transition

With the establishment of a DAO Foundation alongside Toshi’s incorporation, we’ve laid the groundwork for a smooth transition towards a fully decentralized organization. The Foundation is tasked with nurturing the Toshi ecosystem, all while operating under the DAO’s governance framework, ensuring that the community’s vision and values are always at the forefront.

The Toshi Council: Empowering Community Voices

Following our recent announcement of the Toshi Council, we aim to empower community members who are eager to contribute to the growth and betterment of Toshi. It’s important to note that the Council’s role is distinct from that of the Foundation, focusing on community engagement and initiatives.

The Four-Step Decentralization Process

Our approach to decentralization is methodical, ensuring a balanced transition of governance to the community:

1. Initial Proposal Phase: The leadership team introduces proposals, with token holders having the final say through voting, without any vetoes from the team.

2. Council to Team Proposals: The Toshi Council internally votes to suggest ideas to the team, which then decides if these should be put to a DAO vote. Token holders’ decisions in these votes are final and binding.

3. Empowering Community Voices: Community members are encouraged to propose their own initiatives. The team will review these proposals to ensure they align with Toshi’s goals and do not disrupt ongoing processes. Approved proposals will be put to a DAO vote, with the team respecting the community’s decision without exercising veto power, except in cases where a proposal could significantly harm the project.

4. Full Community Governance: In the final phase, the community independently proposes and votes on initiatives. The team steps back from governance, with the Foundation available to assist in execution.

Choosing the Right Platform for DAO Voting

Our search for the ideal DAO voting platform is ongoing, with consultations with Base to identify suitable options. We are open to starting with existing platforms, transitioning to new ones as they become available, or even developing a bespoke platform that accommodates both token and NFT holder voting.

Fostering Innovation: The Farcaster Campaign

In the spirit of community engagement, we’ve launched a Farcaster campaign with a $30,000 prize pool to reward creators of the best Frames for Toshi. The winners will be chosen through a DAO vote, further emphasizing our commitment to community-led decision-making.

Next Steps: Laying the Foundations for Decentralization

Moving forward, we are committed to a gradual and thoughtful transition towards decentralization. Our immediate action is to select an optimal DAO voting platform, setting the stage for our community’s first voting event.

The journey to full decentralization is expected to be a careful and measured process, potentially extending over the next year or beyond. Our approach is to ensure meticulous and deliberate progress, with every decision made in the best interest of Toshi and its community.

This step-by-step plan allows us the flexibility to adjust and improve our methods based on community input and the dynamic nature of decentralized governance. Our goal is to cultivate a strong and transparent Toshi ecosystem, where the contributions and voices of all community members are acknowledged and respected.

Unlocking Value Through Token Utility

A near-future Medium article will delve deeper into Toshi’s token utility, outlining the added utility of holding a certain value of Toshi tokens, such as complimentary access to our suite of tools including our multisender, liquidity locker, token locker, and token deployer services (the presale platform will implement a fixed fee on raised funds, while the Toshi swap remains accessible to all). We are also adding further utility to holding our tokens and NFTs, which we plan to add gradually.

Compensation Philosophy: Recognition and Reward

While the council begins as a volunteer endeavor, it is structured to recognize and reward significant contributions. Successes that notably advance the Toshi mission may lead to financial compensation, reflecting our appreciation for the time, effort, and impact brought by our council members.

Guidance and Support: A Collaborative Foundation

The Toshi Council will not stand alone. In its formative phase, the council will have access to guidance from the core Toshi team, ensuring a robust foundation for decision-making and initiative development. This supportive dynamic ensures that the council’s efforts are both effective and synergistic with Toshi’s overarching goals.

The Essence of Collaboration: Beyond the Council

While the Toshi Council operates independently, it remains deeply connected to the heart of our community. This unique position allows the council to draw inspiration and insight from our vibrant community interactions, ensuring that every initiative resonates with and reflects the spirit and aspirations of our members.

Call to Action: Shape the Future of Toshi

Team Expansion: Elevating Toshi Together

As Toshi evolves, we’re enhancing our team with strategic hires to bolster our growth and community engagement. We’re excited to welcome a Social Media Marketing Lead to amplify our presence across platforms and unify our brand voice. Additionally, a specialized agency will join us temporarily to streamline our marketing strategies. We’re also bringing on board an animator to enrich our content with dynamic, animated art, breathing life into the Toshi brand. This expansion signifies our transition into a more structured company, promising improved communication and efficiency. Our gratitude extends to our supportive community as we embark on this exciting phase of growth and innovation.

Spotlight on Manuel (Arkham/MDM): A Pillar of Growth

A special acknowledgment goes to Manuel, whose multifaceted contributions have significantly propelled Toshi forward. As a seasoned entrepreneur, Maneul has been instrumental across various domains, from refining our hiring processes to shaping our strategic direction and enhancing our communication channels. His diverse expertise has been invaluable in steering Toshi towards a brighter, more cohesive future.

Further updates

Stay tuned for more updates in the very near future. We’re excited to share developments about our dApp, website, and other initiatives that are currently under wraps.

Recapping 2023; Looking Forward to 2024

What a truly incredible year 2023 has been, and yet, we’re even more excited for the upcoming year!

This won’t be a boring historical recap of Toshi’s launch or a detailed week-by-week or month-by-month breakdown; however, we do want to highlight a few key points before we look forward to what’s happening with Toshi in 2024.

We want to offer a deep-felt thank you to everyone who has given such incredible support to our team. This includes our community members, mods, team members, friends with broad social media reach, and other founders who have helped us grow. You are too numerous to mention individually, but know that without you, we wouldn’t be where we are today.

We also want to express our gratitude to the BASE team for their hard work, the BASE community for helping the ecosystem grow, and other BASE founders for continuously working to improve the BASE ecosystem and infrastructure.

We achieved so many remarkable milestones in 2023!

Some of the more significant are:

-Growing to over 11,000 holders organically. Keep in mind that this has been done without spending a penny on marketing!

-Witnessing two significant inflows of volume, the first shortly after BASE’s launch where Toshi hit an all-time high of over 12 million dollars in 24-hour volume; the second in the last month with over 8 million dollars in the same timeframe.

-Accumulating close to 20,000 followers on X.com and over 6,500 on Telegram.

As we end the year, we wish you and all those dear to you a great end to this year, and an even more amazing 2024!

May all your wishes come true for the new year!

Looking Forward: Toshi Tools

As mentioned previously, we are incredibly excited for all that is to come in 2024.

Unlike 2023, we will not be stating precisely what we’ll release and when, in order to keep some cards close to our chest; having said that, we will provide you with a broad overview from time to time to keep you updated & informed.

During the first few weeks of January 2024, we look forward to releasing our Toshi Token Launcher, Toshi Launchpad, and Toshi Swap.

The contracts for the Swap are currently being stress-tested after working flawlessly on both buys and sells. The contracts users can deploy using our Token Launcher are completed; with special security measures such as a hardcoded maximum tax of 10% to prevent potential honeypot situations, as well as a minimum transaction amount for the same reason.

This not only ensures that our contracts are safe, but also automatically lends trust to those using our Token Launcher from the broader community.

The Launchpad UI is completed; it now only requires a minimum amount of coding for the final release.

Multiple projects building on BASE have already expressed excitement about using Toshi Tools and we are very eager to see them effectively utilize the broad range of tools that we are offering.

The ideal scenario we envisage is that a project launches their token using our Token Launcher, locks liquidity in our LP locker, uses our Launchpad for presales, and employs our multisender to airdrop tokens to presale holders. Then, for an improved swapping experience, they can use Toshi Swap. Should they have team tokens, they can lock those tokens in the Token Locker as a show of transparency to their community. Toshi Tools thus offers the complete package for projects launching and building on BASE.

Initially, Toshi Swap and Token Launcher will be compatible with, and aimed at, V2 contracts. Over time, we will add V3 compatibility.

As previously stated, once our six tools are fully live, and our Telegram bots are operational, we will continue delivering on the tech side. We will continuously improve our dApp to make it much more robust and keep adding important features. We will also keep adding tools to our dApp. These will be released as fun, exciting, unexpected drops when they are ready for the world.

Rebranding the Website, Hiring New Team Members, and More

We are currently working on a refresh of our website, in order to showcase more of the Toshi art, as well as provide a comprehensive rundown of all the current facets of Toshi.

We are working towards a far more extensive upgrade for the website in the first half of 2024, which we are looking forward to. We are currently looking into the top web design studios with experience in Web3 in this regard and if you know of an amazing studio, please reach out to us with names and links!

Additionally, we are looking to hire a full-time 2D animator to help turn Toshi art into exciting and engaging animations. If that is you, or you know the best candidate for Toshi, please do reach out to us on Telegram or X!

We are always excited to work with great artists, so if you have something creative to offer that we are not currently doing, please do let us know!

In January 2024, we will be onboarding an amazing team of highly experienced and extremely well-connected marketers. This team will consist of a mix ranging from Web3 marketing for social media strategies to KOL strategies. We are excited to announce the onboarding of these new team members and can’t wait to see their work come into effect. With this, we will broaden our social media horizons, allowing for more effective future growth.

In the coming month, we will also start releasing a variety of instructional videos on our social media platforms. These videos will range from all things BASE, to our Toshi Tools. If there are other subjects that our videos don’t cover that you’d like to see, we would love your feedback.

For some of the other undertakings that are upcoming, please read our previously posted Medium articles.

With confidence we can state that everything that has been announced will be executed over the coming months.

Partnerships and X Spaces

We are incredibly excited to start announcing a broad variety of partnerships in 2024, starting in January. We will not yet disclose the names, however, there are already 10 collaborations lined up. We are excited for all these, as almost all of them are of incredible strategic value to Toshi.

We encourage you all to listen in on all the Toshi/Partner X Spaces. There may even be prizes or giveaways for you to take home, so make sure you tune in!!

Even though we don’t want to say who these partnerships and spaces are with, we will say that we are excited for every single announcement that we’ll be making.

If you are building a project on BASE, and you think we’d make for an amazing partnership together, we’d like to hear from you!

Other than this, there are many exciting conversations happening that we expect to turn into collaborations as well, which we will announce when both parties are ready.

Growing and Improving the Toshi Brand

Our focus in 2024 is to cement Toshi even further as the premier brand on BASE, and in the broader crypto world. We are working on amazing mid-term and long-term plans for Toshi that will allow for continuous and improved growth of the Toshi brand.

We are certain that with a number of these plans our reach will continuously grow. No announcements will be made yet on this front, but being able to execute on all these fronts so early already has us ecstatic!

Concluding

For the TL;DR, option 4 people:

Much wow, very excite, many fun, such partners.

Happy 2024!

Dear Toshi Fam,

In August 2023, Toshi shared its planned roadmap with you. As we come close to completing our entire roadmap, we want to share how we see Toshi continuously evolving into an even better, bigger, and more impactful project.

In our latest Medium posts, we stated our hope to deliver the entire dApp before the end of the year. At that time, we had not anticipated adding a few more pages/add-ons to the dApp. We are still completely on track with delivery; however, due to the addition of more pages to create a more robust dApp, we will roll out parts in December. We will take a release break for Christmas and the holidays around the New Year, during which we find it less impactful to do releases. We will continue with the releases of the remaining tools in January 2024.

Currently, the Multisender, Liquidity Locker, and Token Locker are in Beta testing with a small group of community supporters. With their feedback, we are improving some UI/UX and functionalities, after which we will go live with a public Beta for these three tools. Every time we finalize building a tool, it will go into closed-circle Beta first, followed by a public Beta. When all our tools are live and have been thoroughly tested, they will transition from the Beta phase into full-fledged Toshi Tools.

We are speaking to auditors to help demonstrate the safety of our tools to the public and to help battle-test our dApp.

Once all of this is delivered, we will have completed everything on our roadmap. With that, it is time to share our longer-term vision with you. What do we see Toshi developing into over the coming months and years?

Toshi’s First Steps into the World

In the first few weeks and months of Toshi’s existence, Toshi became the undeniable Face of Base, a BASE native token. The project with the most volume, the most holders, and the biggest community. That hasn’t changed, but we have further solidified ourselves in that position. There are many days where we have accounted for (over) 50% of the volume on BASE chain that is not ETH, stables, or fake tokens (50 makers, 10 thousand transactions).

We intend to maintain this role on BASE, as we strongly believe that the BASE chain will continue to grow, bringing more amazing projects on-chain that will improve on-chain volume and TVL.

With that, let’s move to how we expect to continuously remain the first mover and the leader of BASE.

Toshi Tools, Toshi Bots

After introducing our first six tools, we will have become a serious infrastructure player on BASE. These tools are useful developer tools from one of the most trusted brands on BASE. We are in touch with multiple projects looking to use our full tool suite to launch their projects on BASE.

After our initial six tools are live, we have more tools that we will release in the coming months. As we prefer not to announce exact details, as opposed to what we did in the past, we will not give you tentative dates or disclose what these tools are. Instead, we will make sudden announcements when those products are ready for public Beta.

Aside from our dApp, we will also introduce some Toshi automated Bots that will tie into our dApp and our ecosystem. These are data tools for the Toshi Ecosystem. They will operate on Telegram, and when we open our Discord community, we will assess their integration there as well. We don’t have planned dates for these bots yet, but they will certainly be launched after our six initial tools are live.

After releasing the other tools we have planned, as well as the Toshi Bots, we will continuously deliver improvements and enhancements to our existing suite of products. We will always seek to add more products that fit well into the Toshi ecosystem.

Toshi’s Future, Our Vision

You may now understand that we see a bright future for Toshi, which brings us to our vision.

This section is more figurative in some ways, whereas the previous sections were more precise and detailed.

We are building Toshi to become one of the biggest brands in crypto, not just on BASE. For this, we are looking at the development of a much broader product line than just DeFi native products. We are considering educational content, Toshi merchandise, and much more.

These are areas where we will (partially) allocate our treasury funds. We are always seeking to onboard highly skilled, effective team members for Toshi, some purely crypto-native, others skilled in reaching broader audiences.

For many initiatives — such as merchandise — we have strong connections that we can activate when the time is right. For other aspects, we have amazing advisors who can help us get in front of the right people and companies, as they are already doing on a smaller scale.

By the time our tools are fully released, we will have been operational for only six months. In these six months, we have built an incredible foundation, an amazing community, and have received incredible support.

We are working hard to ensure these first six months are just the start of a journey that extends well beyond just being a meme on BASE. We are looking to actively add utility to Toshi with our tools and bots, among other options we are exploring. We will retain some of the best Web3 lawyers to ensure we abide by laws and regulations.

As we move towards the second half of Q1 2024, when our tools are live, and the bots/further tools are closer to being released, we will update you on the next steps for Toshi. In the time leading up to that, we will have taken many steps that will allow us to move very fast and agilely from that point forward.

We can’t tell you how excited we are. Working over 100 hours a week usually sounds incredibly hard, but you all make it so much easier and worthwhile.

We thank you all for your unwavering support, and we look forward to seeing you every day in our community, and on X spaces where we will be more active in the coming weeks as we roll out our tools.

Your active involvement is what shapes Toshi and drives us forward. Let’s build the future of Toshi together!
